If anything can sum up the power of the web, it’s the fact that two filmmakers from a beach town in Maine can create a web series casting local actors and using local businesses as locations and then make it available to the rest of the world. Willard Beach, The Real Story 2.8, a weekly comedy web series co-created and co-produced by Portland, Maine's Betsy Carson and Kate Kaminski, does just that. It covers the lives of a 16-person ensemble cast that includes Brent Askari, Keith Anctil, Braden Biddings, Harris Cooley, Denise Poirier, Franklin McMahon and Michael Best. All of these colorful characters live in Willard Beach, Maine and each episode puts two, three, or four of them together for a three minute scene. As the series continues, we get an idea of how each of these characters are connected to each other and fit into the fabric of the town as a whole.
